User Account

Basic Information

When you log in, the catalog will display "Logged in as First Name Last Name" in the upper right corner of the page.

Last Name:

When you log in, the catalog will display "Logged in as First Name Last Name" in the upper right corner of the page.

Email Address:

Enter the email address to which you want VuFind to send a new password, if you ever forget your password and ask for a new one.Note that updating the email address in your VuFind account does not update it in the library's official record for you. "Item available" and "item overdue" notices will be emailed to the address in the library's official record. To update information in the library's official record for you, contact the library.

Desired Username:

Enter the username you want to use whenever you log in to the catalog. Your username can be the same as your library borrower ID (barcode number), or anything else of your own choosing. Be sure to choose a username that you will be able to remember. (Because I-Share usernames must be unique, you might need to try more than one before you find one that has not been taken by another user. Your library borrower ID might make a good username for this reason.)

Password:

Enter the password you want to use whenever you log in to the catalog. A strong password is one that will not be easy for someone else to guess (for instance, it should not be the same as your username), and it should contain a mixture of lower-case letters, upper-case letters and numbers. Be sure to choose a password that you will be able to remember.

Password Again:

Re-enter the password you want to use. If you do not enter exactly the same password twice in a row, the catalog will prompt you to try again.

Library Catalog Profile

In order to request items through I-Share you must profile this user account with your library account information:

Borrower ID (Barcode Number):

Enter your library borrower ID in this box, even if you decided to use your borrower ID as your username and entered it already in the username box. Library Borrower IDs are often (but not always) 14-digit barcode numbers. Your library borrower ID probably displays on whatever card was issued to you by your I-Share library. If your library borrower ID ever changes (for instance, if you lose your library card and are issued another one with a new ID number on it), then you will have to re-profile this account with the new borrower ID.

Last Name on Library Account:

Enter here your last name as it appears in the library's official record for you. Note that updating your name in your VuFind account does not update it in the library's official record. If your name changes, be sure to contact your library to let them know.

I-Share Library with Which You Are Affiliated:

Select the library that issued you the borrower ID that you entered in the Borrower ID box.
